Wireshark is a popular network packet analyzer that captures and displays network traffic. This tutorial will guide you through the process of installing Wireshark on Manjaro.
Before installing any software, it is recommended to update your system to ensure that you have the latest packages and dependencies.
sudo pacman -Syu
You can install Wireshark from the official Manjaro repository using the following command:
sudo pacman -S wireshark-qt
This will install Wireshark along with all the necessary dependencies.
Note: The '-qt' suffix in the package name is optional and is used to install Wireshark with the Qt interface. You can also install Wireshark with the GTK interface using the package 'wireshark-gtk'.
To use Wireshark, you need to grant your user the required permissions to access network interfaces.
sudo usermod -aG wireshark $USER
After running this command, you need to log out and log in again for the changes to take effect.
You can now launch Wireshark by typing 'wireshark' in the terminal or by searching for Wireshark in your application launcher.
Once launched, you can start capturing network traffic and analyzing it in real-time.
This tutorial has shown you how to install Wireshark on Manjaro and configure it. Wireshark is a powerful tool that can help you troubleshoot network issues and analyze network traffic.
